Middle school and elementary school students who need some extra help with their homework can find it at the Ionia Community Library.

Free tutoring, courtesy of Tutoring Your Way LLC, is available with an appointment from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays.

"I know that it is a service really needed here in Ionia," said Ionia Community Library Interim Director Sharon Van Ett.

She added she believes the library's atmosphere is one that creates a learning and exploring environment for the students. So far, the tutor named "Miss Becca" is helping two students and is able to help four at one time.

Tutoring Your Way LLC is a business based out of Lowell and was established by Melissa Vogel, who is a teacher and mother who wanted to help students learn. She said she is offering free tutoring because she wanted to be able to reach families who were in need.

The tutors, she said, are certified, experienced teachers who can assist with all core subjects and use different mediums of teaching to help make sessions fun and helpful in the learning process.

"It can be very individualized and you can work with each child's learning style," said Vogel.

She added Tutoring Your Way LLC provides personal attention with each child and allows tutors to attend school conferences, communicate with teachers and pin point areas where the child needs the most help.

Van Ett said the tutoring is one of many new services offered in the library and she added she would love to offer additional meeting times if the interest of the community is present.
